January 2021 General Meeting:
 Meet the Speakers

For our January General Meeting, we will introduce our newly elected state representative from District 134, Ann Johnson. Given that our meeting date is the first day of the 87th legislative session in Texas, Rep. Johnson may be unable to join us, upon which a member of her staff will join to field questions.

In addition, we will also welcome representatives from the City of Houston Public Works Department and contractors to discuss happenings around the Bryce Street Chemical Feed Station.

Get to know Ann Johnson: A Houston native and youngest of six children, Ann Johnson learned her values, vocation, and politics at home. At a tender age, she accompanied her father, a former Texas state representative, to his law office to meet with clients who had lost limbs in industrial accidents. Her mother, a retired senior district judge, and father instilled a strong sense of the honor and responsibility of speaking for those who cannot speak for themselves. Ann and wife Sonya, an artist, married as soon as Texas law allowed. They have three rescue dogs and lots of wonderful nieces and nephews. Ann is a former Chief Human Trafficking Prosecutor, current teacher, and small business owner who works as an attorney in our criminal justice system for victims of sexual exploitation and those who cannot afford a lawyer.
